This game has a strong and narrow sense of "how it's supposed to be played". It's easy to beat if I play it the way it wants to be played. If I try to play it my way or a bit slower it's so punishing as to seem like it's on rails. I have no time to enjoy building up my provinces or armies. It's always "spam ashigaru because its all i can afford", rush the AI before their "lack of upkeep doomstacks" outnumber me 2:1, rush the AI before they all gang up on me, count my territories every turn to stop short of realm divide.
It seems like there's a lot of choice and a lot to do but most of it will get you killed quickly.
The campaign management sucks.
The combat is excellent.
The UI is good.
It's a pretty game
I find it boring that there's only one real way to play.

I fight with bamboomen, I struggle hard, but, I win with bamboomen, I struggle hard to earn money and hire more bamboomen and strike like the mongoosed cobra that I saw in the museum of my youth, I struggle hard and win a castle. I have no breath and I have no money. I hire more bamboomen, some with flying sticks. I struggle hard. There are men with metal sticks slicing through my bamboo. Hahaha. I have yak army running to your backdoor metalstickmen...now...I have metal...but no money....pig stingy game.
